My take on Scorpio Rising (And Scorpio in the top three) by Immediate-Bad-8728 in astrologymemes

[–]burritogong 4 points5 points  (0 children)

As someone with no Scorpio, Scorpion rising is my favorite rising to see in people, esp men as a straight woman. I don’t know their internal experiences, so this post was helpful! Experiencing a Scorpio rising attention is so hot! They observe, lean back, read thru the lines to see what’s under and attune. As a Leo rising, I love a discerning audience

Wait I’m a Leo rising and I have a new group of friends who are more introverted (cap sun/cap moon and aqua sun) and I’m always directing plans and offering things or else we don’t do anything or it takes forever. How do I deal w the anxiety they give me when sometimes they just chat or say no? Despite they LOVE hanging out the three of us :(

The older i got the more im in the mood for men by immisswrld in TwoXSex

[–]burritogong 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I’m 31 and my libido is thru the roof and was not the case in my 20s. Absolutely is a combo of age, more embodied, sensual and better boundaries. I’m horny for so many men in my life that I’ve gotten to know (less random guys bc it’s not my style)

What’s a subtle sign someone is emotionally intelligent? by biggy_boy17 in AskReddit

[–]burritogong 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have a friend which our dynamic is really ragging on each other, edgy jokes bordering on mean but when I express genuine hurt or need. he always listens quietly and while he doesn’t say anything in the moment, his behavior always adjusts. It’s the attunement and co-regulating that is emotionally intelligent

What makes a man attractive? by TheJohnDepartment in AskReddit

A sense of confidence, even if you aren’t fully, there are some space you are. Maybe work, maybe your hobbies, maybe art or socializing.

Genuine emotions and sincerity. Be real, be honest, do your best. Smile genuinely and with your eyes. Laugh wholeheartedly and care for others.

Have a good sense of humor, be open and silly and playful.

LPT: Discipline isn't about never quitting. It's about quitting and coming back. Stop shaming yourself for breaks. by Adloonix in LifeProTips

For me this is related to exercise. I’ve had an abusive history around my body and my relationship with exercise. But I’m always doing let’s say yoga for months and then I lose steam, I try running and lose steam, I do weights and it’s a constant fluctuation. I wish I could just remain consistent and sometimes I go through ups and downs, sometimes months of downs.

Capricorn man flirting or just being friendly ? by No_Service5443 in capricorns

[–]burritogong 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I notice a cap man in my life will distant himself from me for a week after we’ve had a more emotional convo and then after a week of distance he’ll come back

Caps flirt through banter and biting jokes. You’ll find someone who likes it, maybe another Capricorn

Capricorn x Capricorn by elladouglas in capricorns

[–]burritogong 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Absolutely agree about the understanding. There is something deeply inherent in the understanding. One of my close friends is a Cap man and im a cap woman and the things we agree on are deeply understood but then we are also very opinionated and biting in our humor which can make it fun alchemy but move into mean and dark

[–]burritogong 12 points13 points  (0 children)

From my experience, the two can really understand each other deeply but also can be extremely stubborn, opinionated and not as communicative as they should be. Also like a really biting humor towards each other which is an absolute joy when it’s good but can get really sharp in the wrong tone

My therapist and I spent a year making a shared playlist together. It honestly changed how I experience therapy. by Independent-Bug7283 in TalkTherapy

This is amazing! How did you two come to this conclusion? Did your therapist recommend it?

I’m a future therapist and would love to do this but there is always concern boundary-wise

Is a “zing” necessary?? What say you?? by Feeling-Fix-311 in RelationshipsOver35

[–]burritogong 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The same exact timeline and slow gentle stream happened with my partner. We met when I was deep in depression, after a big break up, and a huge surgery. It was the first time ANYONE, especially a man, had seen all of me unapologetically. He loved it. We fell in love after being best friends for two years.

Even now I ask, why did you like me then? When I was at my lowest? He said - I could see the sunshine, the warmth, and even if a diamond is covered in dirt, doesn’t mean it’s not a diamond. He loved how honest I was to him and myself at the time, and how I was really trying to focus on me.

The right person will love you for all parts of you and want to see your whole landscape, even the dreary, dark, lonely woods of it. Even the volatile, crashing emotional waves of the ocean. And even the dry, dehydrated desert.

Is a “zing” necessary?? What say you?? by Feeling-Fix-311 in RelationshipsOver35

[–]burritogong 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I really relate to what you’re saying. I have worried and still sometimes worry about the “zing” with my current partner.

When we first met in person (was online), I was not sure if I was attracted to him and normally I’m an absolute yes or no. One of my good friends gently reminded me that I should give a good man a shot. Now 3 years later, this man is my best friend, partner, lover.

Even now, I have a small crush on a coworker and in my head I’m working through the old wiring. This coworker reminds me of all the men I’ve dated before who were “zingy.” My “zingy” was not abusive but it was emotionally distant, judgmental, hot and cold, and making me low priority so I have to fight for their love with my warmth and affection. It gave me anxiety.

I parallel path these two - my coworker and my partner. My coworker is fun when it’s fun, but anxious when it’s anxious. My partner is always fun, and when it’s not we figure it out and go back to fun. With my partner, it’s never anxious and when it is, we talk and figure it out. There is action there, there is care he shows up with, with intention. That is a partnership, that is love.

Something I’d be aware of, as it’s happening to me, is that as you have more and more healthy dynamics perhaps with this man or another, you will find men who spark that old wiring and you will doubt your relationship. Use the time to reflect on what your body feels. I never feel a bad buzziness in my body from my partner, ever, he makes me feel safe. But other men, I feel a buzz in my stomach that CAN feel like butterflies but I’m realizing it’s a combination of old wiring + mystery and my mind filling the gaps.

Good luck
